WI vs NZ Match Prediction & Analysis
West Indies and New Zealand will face off in the fifth and final ODI of the series at Kensington Oval, Bridgetown, Barbados. New Zealand have already secured the series with three consecutive victories after recovering from a defeat in the opening game. The visitors sealed the series in dramatic fashion by winning the fourth ODI by one wicket and now hold an unassailable 3-1 lead.
West Indies have struggled for consistency, registering just one win, three defeats, and one abandoned match in their last five ODIs. After making a promising start to the series with a seven-wicket victory, the hosts have lost the next three matches and will now look to finish the series on a positive note.
New Zealand, meanwhile, have won three and lost two of their last five ODIs. Their batting unit has delivered under pressure throughout the series, while the bowlers have consistently produced timely breakthroughs, helping them dominate the contest after the opening defeat.
The recent head-to-head record also favours New Zealand, who have won four of the last five ODIs against West Indies, including the last three matches in this series. While West Indies will be aiming to end the series with a consolation victory, New Zealand will look to complete the tour with another win and finish the five-match series on a high with a commanding 4-1 scoreline.

West Indies Preview
West Indies came agonisingly close to forcing a series decider but fell just one wicket short in the fourth ODI, losing by one wicket after posting 188 runs.
Amir Jangoo anchored the innings with a patient 51 off 73 balls, while Gudakesh Motie contributed a valuable 41 off 56 and Ackeem Auguste added 33 at the top. However, the middle order struggled to build partnerships, preventing the hosts from posting a more competitive total.
With the ball, Gudakesh Motie delivered a superb spell, claiming 5/47 in 10 overs to almost defend a below-par total. Matthew Forde also impressed with 2/44, while Alzarri Joseph (1/23) and Jayden Seales (1/42) kept the pressure on.
Despite the spirited bowling effort, West Indies couldn't finish the job as New Zealand sealed the series with a narrow victory. The hosts will be aiming to bounce back in the final ODI and end the series with a morale-boosting victory at home.
